The lakes are getting more crowded (both with other boats and exotic weeds) every year. I think we had a handful of deaths last year - alcohol and excessive speed are often involved.
Still, I think every citizen who wants a boat should be able to own and operate one, without registration or restriciton of any kind. Even if they are convicted of a boat crime, on their first day out of prison, give 'em the keys to their boat back on their way out.
If boats are criminalized, only criminals will have boats.
You can't tell much from the satellite photo; the Explorer is a couple of black pixels and the boat is a few bright white ones sitting on the slightly darker cement driveway - but still its kind of creepy.
If you could really get extreme closeups, I'd recommend examining the neighbor's swimming pool for bathing beauties over my 12 yr old speedboat (even if its in excellent condition).
